Reception[edit]

Pallavi Pahwa from Firstpost stated "State of Siege: 26/11 is the first such series that looks at the 26/11 attacks from the NSG Commandos perspective and how they managed to neutralize the terrorists and their plans."[2] Jyoti Kanyal from India Today briefly stated "State of Siege 26/11 will remind you of all the documentaries, films and shows based on the Mumbai terror attacks, but what is unique about this show is that it narrates the story from the perspective of the NSG."[3]

Arushi Jain from The Indian Express summarizes her take stating "State of Siege 26/11 gives you a stirring visual account of the 2008 Mumbai attacks and compels you to keep watching."[4] Udita Jhunjhunwala from Scroll.in wrote "State of Siege is less about the victims and their trauma and more about the men with the guns and power."[5] The rediff.com's Joginder Tuteja wrote, it leaves you shocked and wide-eyed and also succeeds in uncovering the various sides of the story during the siege.[6] PINKVILLA's Bhavna Aggarwal wrote, State of Siege: 26/11 is an unapologetic & REAL portrayal of Mumbai attack.[7]

Spin-Off[edit]

State of Siege: Temple Attack (2021) is a next installment to State of Siege: 26/11. It stars Akshaye Khanna and is directed by Ken Ghosh. It is based on the 2002 Akshardham Temple attack in Gujarat.[8]
